I don't own Teen Titans

Chapter 15

This must be the most un-comfortable moment in my life. Richard just stood there, wearing only his mask and his boxers. Yes…very low boxers I might add, although I think I already thought that…no harm in thinking again…or looking for that matter.

So, I was in bed, Blaze by my feet and he was just standing there, staring at me. Not very nice. I had no idea what to do, I mean, what could I do, get up and blind fold him and lead him to the bed? Maybe…that would be very exciting. No, bad thoughts, really bad thoughts Kori! I can't believe I am mentally talking to myself, the first sign of madness. No wait; this must be the second seeing as I let Nightwing share my bed.

"I think I'll sleep in the floor" He muttered quickly, grabbing a pillow and throwing it against the wall.

I rolled my eyes, he stands there looking lost and then decides to sleep on the floor, with no mattress and no blankets, how smart.

"Just get in the bed" I mumbled, sticking my head back into my pillow, hiding my blush.

"No"

I growled inwardly at the stubborn reply. Typical Richard, always making things harder.

"Yes" I said tightly, pulling the blankets closer around my body.

"No, floor's fine"

I sat up, glaring at him.

"You know I have a serious feeling of déjà vu" he mused, cocking his head at me.

"Yeah, well so do I, and it better not end up the same way" I had meant not making me get up and pull him of the floor – he got his wires crossed.

"Exactly, so I'll sleep on the floor" he said, smirking.

"GET IN THE BED!" I shrieked eyes wide and glowing. Obviously Richard got the message that I was angry because he grabbed his pillow and was climbing into the bed beside me in less then two seconds.

"Good boy"

I smiled sweetly then rolled over to my side, facing the other way. I felt him shift beside me, moving away most likely. I didn't like this. It wasn't normal; it was as if we were strangers that met two minutes ago. Without rolling over I asked,

"Remember when we first met each other?"

There was silence and I thought he might've gone to sleep.

"Yeah, you ran into me!"

Ok, so he wasn't a sleep, and he wasn't angry, he sounded amused.

"What's so funny about that?" I asked, rolling over to face him, and he did the same.

"Well, your face was hilarious, I'll never forget it"

"You were fourteen" I sighed, rolling my eyes.

"So, that doesn't mean I can't remember" he said softly, and I tried seeing through the opaque white of his mask. He knew I was trying to see his eyes, and he laughed softly.

"Don't even bother, there's not much point"

"Well, if I do recall Richard, they were blue"

Richard gulped, and I could tell I was right.

"See Richard, even I don't forget"

Richard smiled slightly and then everything became more comfortable again.

"Do you love Drake?"

Ok, now I was uncomfortable again. He just had to ruin the sort of friendship moment, typical Richard. Although he had asked a very good question, did I love Drake? Did I really like him, or did I like the thought of him? Neither. I liked him, but I didn't trust him. He just wasn't for me, he was nice and all, but he wasn't for me.

"No" It came out as a barely audible whisper, and I lowered my gaze to where my hands were gripping the sheets tightly.

"Do you love any one?"

Another question - he must really like torturing me like this.

"…No" I answered slowly, feeling guilt wash through me at the lie

"Good night, Kori" he said quietly, rolling over to face away from me.

I rolled over as well, as a single tear slipped down my cheek.

TTT

We had been woken up at five thirty this morning, thanks to Blaze, who had found Richard's uniform and was using it as a chew toy.

"BLOODY DOG!" roared Richard, yanking his outfit from Blaze's small mouth.

"Blaze, drop it" I commanded, my tone stern. Truly, I didn't want to interfere, I wouldn't have cared if Blaze bit right through.

Blaze let go, wrinkled his nose and bounded up to me and I picked him up.

"Did that mean prick scare you?" I asked him, rubbing his head, Blaze whimpered.

"I know, he's a dick isnt he? Fits his name don't you think?" I said to the little wolf, who barked enthusiastically.

"Yeah, and Bitch fits yours" I heard him mutter as he pulled on his uniform and secured the belt around his waist and the sword on his back.

"I'll take that as a compliment" I growled, glaring at him as he left the room.

I dressed quickly, tucking the sheathed dagger into my boot, attaching the sword to my hips with its belt, and swung the boy and quiver of arrows on my bag. I thought it would weigh me down, but it didn't.

I made the bed, that ass of a hero kindly left me to it.

Tucking the sheets in I gave it a glance of approval and the left the room, Blaze on my heels.

When I entered my friends sleeping areas they were already up and dressed, Nightwing and Raven conversing quietly in the corner. Of course I looked at Nightwing first, but he ignored me. Beast Boy and Cyborg were yelling about something….ah of course, breakfast.

"Tofu man, nothing better!" typical Beast Boy

"Oh no you don't, no one wants that nasty white goo!" and typical Cyborg.

"Yeah we all do except you!"

"Whatever grass stain, go and cook your tofu on the footpath!"

"Don't ya'll be telling me dat you was just dissin' ma tofu dog!"

Cyborg looked at Beats Boy in horror,

"Don't ever do that again"

Beast Boy merely stuck his nose in the air and walked over to me.

"Imbecile, he doesn't know the true meaning of food"

I rolled my eyes,

"Beast Boy, here's a solution – there is no Tofu here!"

Beast Boy looked mortified,

"No…tofu?" he asked, looking like he was about to cry.

"Don't sweat it; we have that soy bean crap"

I looked behind Gar to see Ena and Ryan; Beast Boy looked at her with awe,

"I LOVE YOU ENA!" He said, and flung himself at her.

Ryan didn't take too kindly to that, neither did Raven.

Ryan lifted Beast Boy up by the back of his collar and Raven took Beast Boy from him with her powers, and brought him to face her.

"Do not EVER throw yourself at a female, ever!" she growled, baring her teeth.

"My bad, just don't bite me!" exclaimed Beast Boy wriggling free.

Raven growled and dropped him on the floor where he mumbled,

"Didn't mind when I jumped on you"

Everyone covered their mouths to stop their laughter.

"YOU WERE A KIITEN THEN!" shrieked Raven, and a bed flew up into the air and came down in a crash, narrowly missing me.

"Whatever" mumbled Beast Boy, eyeing Raven warily.

"This is gonna take a long time" I heard Bee mutter.

TTT

Well, it had taken half an hour to get breakfast sorted, and I had kicked Nightwing in the shins when he dropped his bacon laded fork onto my lap. He had stomped on my foot when I accidentally stabbed his finger with me knife. Then by mistake my foot happened to trip him up when he got out of his seat, and the dick had grabbed my arm and pulled me down with him. I had landed on top of him, straddling his hips with my legs which had caused a loud round of laughter.

Then when Drake came by, Nightwing accidentally jammed Drake's foot in the door, and then Drake tripped Nightwing up when he walked by, and Nightwing once again grabbed me as I walked by, letting us fall in the same position as before. Drake had growled and yanked me up, nearly pulling my arm from its socket.

So when we finally left the house, Drake and Nightwing were glaring daggers at each other, and right now I wanted to ram a dagger down their throats. Two days with them was going to be hard…very hard.

"Finally!" groaned Gar as we finished packing the ship with blankets and food and weapons etc.

"Get a grip Beast Boy, we have a long way to go yet" muttered Raven, pulling the hood of her cloak up.

I bid goodbye to Drake, who much to his disgust wasn't coming, as Ena had forced him to stay behind.

Blaze had bounded into my arms, yapping hysterically and Bee had shouted,

"Can't you shut the fur ball up for one minute?"

I had tried in vain to hush his excited barks, and he did stop…for about one minute.

"Goodbye Ena, Ryan, I'll see you soon" I said softly, embracing them both in a hug.

"No worries Kori call us every morning and night, ask for Blaze or Thorn, one of us will answer" said Ryan, giving me a reassuring smile.

I smiled back, feeling a great loss as I walked up the ramp and onto the ship, and watched as I once again left my family member.

TTT

We had been flying for half an hour, and it was like…it was horrible. I couldn't stand it, I couldn't stand the tension between Nightwing and I, it was driving me insane!

He was standing in the corner, staring out the window, away from everyone else.

I walked over to him, slowly, guiltily.

"Hey" I said quietly, standing beside him.

"Hey" he said, not looking at me.

"We need to talk, in private" I said softly, and then he looked at me.

"Storage room, it's got some of the spare blankets in there"

I nodded and we discreetly snuck away from everyone.

I closed the door quietly behind us, and watched as Nightwing stood still, watching me.

"Talk, whats there to talk about?" he asked, staring at me.

I sighed; men could be so oblivious to a girl's feelings.

"What else Richard?" I snapped, glaring at him.

"Well I don't know, you told me everything last night" he growled, scowling.

"You suck at reading between the lines" I mumbled, watching as his eyes narrowed.

"What, that you lied to me because you were embarrassed?" he asked softly, moving closer to me.

"Maybe you don't suck then" I said sheepishly, feeling a dark crimson blush creep up my cheeks.

"I never thought I did" he mused, raising an eye brow.

Ok, major sexiness there. God damn that eye brow.

"Well, it seems as if we're back to out normal banter" I said lamely, feeling really stupid.

"Not really, we haven't insulted each other as of yet"

"What do you want to be insulted, because that can be easily done" I grinned, taking a step closer to him.

"No, I'm good, but…I just want to know something"

I raised a brow,

"Like what?"

He never answered; well he did, just not verbally. He grabbed my waist, pulling the last step closer, and I looked up at him through my eye lashes. Then he tilted my chin up with his hand slightly, and bent down, catching my lips in a sweet tender kiss. I was melting, utterly melting in shi sweet embrace. My eyes closed, as did his, and I wrapped my arms around his neck, toying with his long hair. His strong arms circled my waist, pulling me towards him. I was in total bliss, in a feeling of euphoria until…

The door opened, and someone walked in…Drake.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

What can I say, I like cliff hangers! Sorry, but I do, and another update with some major drama should be up tomorrow, I mean, come on Drake just walked in on them kissing! Major Nightwing/Drake angst there don't ya think? Wanna know my favorite movie at the moment, no? I don't care AMERICAN PIE BAND CAMP! I love that movie!
